My 2-yr old lab was just neutered & ever since surgery he has had bad dandruff & hair loss near his tail...?

He may have picked up some fleas at the vet and is having an allergic reaction. The surgery could have been the extra stress that allowed the allergies to break through. I'd get him to the vet and on some flea control and try to get this back under control.My 2-yr old lab was just neutered %26amp; ever since surgery he has had bad dandruff %26amp; hair loss near his tail...?
He's probably having an allergic reaction to something. Dogs like people can develop allergies in life. The dandruff is the skin trying to get rid of whatever the irritant is and probably has nothing to do with the surgery. The hair loss is probably from the dog chewing on it's rear because the stitches could be causing some irritation.My 2-yr old lab was just neutered %26amp; ever since surgery he has had bad dandruff %26amp; hair loss near his tail...?
neutering the dog most likely did not cause the dandruff and hair loss.... it was most likely cause by a skin allergy or food allergy of some sort the best bet is to take for dog to the vet to get it checked out. they will know what it is and the best way to get rid of it.. ;)
He may have picked up a skin fungus at the vets, but you could never prove it came from there, get a skin test done soon, it could be other things too. Good Luck

Take hinm to the vet NOW he is alergic to the antibodic they used to dress the area..

Does any1 have any remedies for male hair loss? besides wigs, sprays, shampoos, surgery. ex i heard folic acid

Deal with it... Hair loss is natural... You could just shave it off and wax your head, then you would have nothing to worry about it.Does any1 have any remedies for male hair loss? besides wigs, sprays, shampoos, surgery. ex i heard folic acid
There's only two male hair loss drugs clinically tested and FDA approved : Minoxidil (Rogaine and other brands) and Finasteride (Proscar, Propecia, etc.), there are some interesting drugs too like Dutasteride or Follica but there aren't enough studies yet.

If you're into natural stuff, the only one that might be helpful is Saw Palmeto (there are capsules for sale in natural shops) because it contains anti androgens similar to the ones found on Propecia.



Minoxidil if you buy generic brands it's quite cheap and Proscar if you get the generic version it's reasonably cheap and will last you a long time.



Quite frankly all the other stuff are either placebos or scams.

Q. ';What are some natural hair loss remedies? im going to a natural medicine store and they have all kinds of herbs and things like that ';



SOURCE(S): 20+ years research into natural cures and treatments for hair loss/regrowth
L'oreal aminnexil works fine,

And it clinically tested and safe,(you just massage scalp first, and then massage it in.)

I got over 1250 hairs back, That i had not seen for several years, From first course, 4 months ago first use.

And it is reasonably priced. ( About $90 USD) twice a year.

No risk of Penile dysfunction as with Propecia.!

Hair loss after surgery is quite common. After all, your body has had a shock, and it takes time to recover.





the hair is not essential, so it is the first thing where body resources are pulled and it all goes to the other areas needing it. So your hair root suffered a short loss of nutrients, and it will fall out. It doesn't all fall out at once, but slowly. The good thing is that the hair starts growing back immediately, and you will have lots of short hairs soon.





What to do? Not much now. Just be sure you are in good health by eating well and that you are getting enough rest so that your body is back to normal soon. Your hair will look after itself. In the meantime, don't do anything other than keeping it clean. Too much brushing or combing will only pull out those weakened hairs faster, so try to keep it at a minimum. A shorter cut may help to make it look better, but won't help make it grow. That has to come from within.I think im suffering from ';post surgery alopecia,'; what can I do to help my hair loss?
From what I read, hair loss caused by surgery is telogen effluvium which is what I have. Here's a background:





Telogen effluvium in short is when there is a shock or persistant stressor that causes your hair follicules to go into the resting stage so you notice a huge shed ((in your case, it was the surgery)). The bright side: it's a diffuse thinning so there are no bald spots but it will look thinner in some places than others, you won't go completely bald ((lose about 70% of your hair)) and even though that sounds like a lot, no one will notice but you. Also, it is completely reversable and not permanent. The hair loss usually starts about 3 months after the cause is removed. Once whatever is causing the fall out is present is out of your system, the hair will stop falling out and start the regrowth process ((with a surgery, it should be back to normal in about 1 year)).





My suggestions:


1. Take a high does of Biotin ((5000 mcg)). Depending on the type of hair loss, this is said to kick start hair regrowth. It could take a while to work but it will help your hair grow back healthy. This is found in most vitamin sections and is pretty inexpensive.


2. Until the hair grows back, look for a line called Nioxin ((found in speciality stores such as Sally's, Trade Secret or Master Cuts or it can be ordered offline)). It won't make your hair regrow and it won't make it thicker but it will make you and others perceive it's thicker ((9/10 can see a difference)). The stuff in the stores will only make it worse. This line is a bit pricey but soooo worth it.


3. Don't stress about it. I know it's easier said than done but stress is another cause of TE.





Hope this helped! Good Luck!

Can eye drops prescribed for cataract surgery and recuperation cause hair loss?

drops containing prednisolone acetate and ketorolac tromethamine can they cause hair loss?Can eye drops prescribed for cataract surgery and recuperation cause hair loss?
Actually one of its side effects (the only positive one) is that it increases hair growth.





The worst effects are the weight gain and the sensitivity of your skin to bruises - according to a friend who takes that for nerve problems.





Most people with cataracts are in the age group where hair loss is common - that is more likely to be your reason.

  • Hair loss after gastric bypass surgery?

    I am about 3 months post surgery. Has anyone or maybe someone they know had some hair loss after surgery? I am just wondering what I should exspect.Hair loss after gastric bypass surgery?
    What you describe is called ';Telogen Effluvium';. Telogen effluvium is when a stress (such as dieting/weight change) causes noticeable shedding of hair after the stressful event. The hair loss is always delayed, usually 3 to 4 months after the ';stressful event';.





    The event can be a physical stress such as an illness (especially with a fever), sudden weight changes (the most common), or a major surgical procedure like gastric bypass surgery. Sudden severe emotional stress can also trigger telogen effluvium, including the death of a loved one, a divorce, or a job termination.





    It's all about something called ';Transition to Resting Phase';. In telogen effluvium, the stressful event causes a high proportion of hair follicles to halt their growth phase prematurely, and to begin a transition to the resting phase at the same time. 3 to 4 months after the stressful event, a high proportion of follicles shed their hairs all at about the same time, as they prepare for a new cycle of growth.





    The condition is almost always temporary, and new hairs soon grow back in. Within a few more months the normal random cycle of hair follicle growth and rest resumes. Treatment for telogen effluvium includes waiting for the new hairs to grow in, and styling to give a fuller look in the meantime. Make sure your diet is TRULY TOTALLY sugar free. Sugar greatly exacerbates the condition. It also helps to do the following:





    * Up your protein by 15% each day over whatever levels you've been eating.


    * Make SURE you are taking in at least 1500 calories per day.


    * Drink LOTS of water. 64 ounces is a minimum per day.


    * Take your supplements! At a minimum, you should be taking:


    o A good multivitamin with NO iron


    o CoEnzyme Q10 - 75-150 mg per day.


    o Acetyl L-Carnitine - 1000 mg per day


    o A good Essential Fatty Acids supplement if you don't


    eat some form of salmon, tuna, or olive oil every day.





    Hope all of this is of some help. I know it feels scary, but it's not as abnormal as it may seem.Hair loss after gastric bypass surgery?
    I haven't had GBS but I have had anemia, and when I did, I got hairloss. I freaked out, but apparently it's only temporary, and it happens to lots of people - including those who get surgery!





    It's called Telogen Effluvium and it's the body's response to stress. Women who have children frequently experience this, but anemia, major surgery, major stress, and a few other things can cause it. It is temporary, and generally not noticeable to anyone other than the person experiencing it.





    So basically - don't worry. If you lose hair, it should come back within a few months, and you probably won't lose enough for it to be obvious anyway. Besides, you'll be losing weight so people will probably notice that first! :)

    How to stop hair loss and regain lost-ed hair without surgery i.e. herbal remedies?
    Minoxidil or finasteride are two medical treatments but they are not guaranteed to bring back a full head of hair.
    I've heard that nothing will bring back lost hair, and it's virtually impossible to stop from balding. Cruel, cruel world.
    Demoxinal worked for Homer, only $1000! Sorry man it aint coming back get plenty of pictures with your loved ones with hair now! Before its too late.
    If you are losing hair in patches you may have a condintion called alopecia. There are plenty of topical solutions you can rub into the scalp that will help hair regrow. Generally it takes 3 months to see results and when you stop using the solution, the hair is likely to fall out again.


    This site had some good info
    I wish there was something, my friend started to lose his hair at 14; he's now in his 30's and not ashamed to tell people he has hair extensions to cover the bald spot.
    There is a herbal formula called and marketed as ';Regain';.It is coconut oil based formulation.Lost hair can be regained by applying and massage of a few drops of Castor oil and coconut oil.Eating corriander leaves,vitamins containing Zinc(Zevit) will help.Your scalp should be examined and found free from infection.Donot use shampoo containing di-selenium sulphide.Have normal sleep and avoid tension.Tension increase hairfall.Please note that a few hair falls every day,it is normal.When rate of fall is more than growth of hair,then only you have aeal problem.

    Can anything be done about men's hair loss besides surgery?

    Hey guys, yea i'm a female, but I still have a question about male pattern baldness. I'm just wondering if anyone has had any true success with any of the products that market themselves as succesful. Other than surgical hair plugs, is there anything that can be done to stop it? My boyfriend is 20, and is starting to lose his hair and was wondering, so i'm doing some research! thanks!Can anything be done about men's hair loss besides surgery?
    Did he request that you research with/for him, or are you unhappy with what's happening to him? I'd suggest looking at Bosley if he's really interested in good results. Most other products require a lifetime commitment.





    You should really just accept it...it happens to a lot of men.Can anything be done about men's hair loss besides surgery?
    there's propecia and rogaine. both have their ups and downs, and may or may not work.





    what worries me is your attitude. what are you gonna do when you are 40 and stuff is starting to head south and wrinkles are appearing daily?





    I'd be more worried about what's in his head and heart than what's covering his head. Youth and beauty are fleeting; substance is forever.
    about it you can get information from here http://treatment-for-symptoms.notlong.com/?q=propecia%26amp;qid=20090611191415AAYFg8H
    well If you want something really protective against your hair loss you should use the herbal shampoo Zulvera .

    Nope... but tell him not to worry. Apperently, bald men have more testosterone. So make him feel better by telling him he's a manly man, who's more man than all those pretty boys :D
    surgery or a wig. follicle treatment is quite effective.
    anyway as you know - hair loss can be caused by many different reasons! Find out the actual cause of hair loss! There are many causes of loss of hair such as stress, poor nutrition ,medications, thyroid dysfunctions, illness, fungal infections ,hormonal problems, to mention a few. but anyway you can always try and get real results.





    year ago my husband suffered from hair loss too and he started trying everything you can imagine to stop his hair loss. the things that really worked for him was:





    1) Vitamin A - an anti-oxidant which promotes healthy production of sebum in the scalp;





    2) Vitamin E stimulates circulation. Good blood circulation in the scalp is important in keeping hair follicles productive. The 'B' vitamins contribute to melanin, which gives hair its healthy color and also stimulates blood circulation;





    3) massage is also beneficial. Massage stimulates circulation. As already noted, good circulation in the scalp keeps hair follicles active. Experts suggest a few minutes of daily head massage by hand. Circulation through massage may be improved by using a few drops of lavender or bay essential oil in an almond or sesame oil base with massage;





    4) Try rubbing your scalp with garlic juice, Onion Juice or Ginger Juice(you can either of one out of three, Do not mix any of two or three);





    5) also used herbal treatment.in that case Provillus is a good product that helps prevent hair loss and it is an FDA approved product. I think it is very important!





    It worked and still works for him!





    I do not know if any pharmacies carry Provillus but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.provillus.com/?aid=749165





    good luck!

    Essentials Oils For New Hair Growth

    Have any men here used medications or even surgery to counter hair loss?

    If so, what? Rogaine? Propecia? Hair transplanting? How effective was it? Did you experience any side effects?Have any men here used medications or even surgery to counter hair loss?
    Excuse me, I'm a female, but my former boyfriend lost almost all his hair during a particularly stressful situation and he regained all of it by using the prescription medication named Propecia. Talk to a doctor so you can get a prescription and give it a try. Good luck, buddy!Have any men here used medications or even surgery to counter hair loss?
    I use Propecia and it worked like a voodoo charm! I was rapidly balding and was pondering transplant surgery. I had been using Rogaine with limited success but the Propecia goes after the root (pun intended) cause of the baldness which is DHT or dihydrotestosterone. This horomone is released at the onset of puberty and turns boys into men. In some men this horomone never shuts off which leads to baldness and can be a contributing factor to future prostate problems.





    The long-term studies have shown that men who take the 1mg dose of propecia are doing themselves a favor in preventing future prostate problems (enlargement, cancer, etc.). When researching propecia the studies also said that 2% of men taking the medicine also reported some sexual dysfunction. Statistically at any given time about 15% of ALL men suffer some type of sexual dysfunction so the numbers don't make much sense.





    For me, the only difference I've noticed is that my orgasms are more intense -which totally rocks! Well that and I have more hair on the top of my head.





    I hope this helps,





    Dave
    No one here has...





    but some people over there have.
    well the medication has side effects so don't even bother but my brother did the surgery it was pretty effective for him. but if u have thining hair there is this shampoo and solution u can use that will stop it and replace ur thin hair with thicker one it's called shen min and it's natural. don't look for it in the shampoo section though.
    I'm sorry I don't know about it.


    But I've heard from my doctor, he had a patient with the problem with you, the doctor gave him some drugs, and in several months his hair grew, but it has impacted to his fertility, because the baldness is gen factor that contribution by testosterone, so due to that reason, the baldness is most in men than women.

    Hair loss after galbladder surgery?

    I had emergency gallbladder surgery at the end of August, experienced many complications %26amp; basically almost died. Now, 3 and a half months later, I'm experiencing random hair loss. I can just run my hands through my hair and at the end pull out 10 strands without even trying. I lose so much when I brush or wash my hair. I looked up some websites which said its common to experience hair loss 3 to 4 months after surgery. But what I wanna know is, is it going to stop? And has anyone else ever went through this?Hair loss after galbladder surgery?
    Don't worry this is very common.


    The emergency operation put your body through a great trauma.


    After my galbladder operation - planned not emergency, my hair thinned


    until I was almost bald at the crown. It took about a year to return to normal


    and I have had no problems since.


    good luckHair loss after galbladder surgery?
    Do you take vitamins and minerals? Most likely reason for the hair loss is vitamin or mineral deficiency due to dietary changes after surgery.


    I am 23 and I have never had gallbladder surgery but if I don't take vitamins and I am very stressed and not eating well, my hair starts falling out really easily and sometimes in clumps.


    Also, I would mention it to your doctor, maybe it is a side effect of medication if you are on any.
    Here a few simple home remedies which can be tried at home to control hair fall.

    Hair Transplant surgery does work. It is usually done when some one is in their 40-60 range. If you do it any sooner there is a possibility that you would have to go in again and have more skin graphs done. They take the hair follicles from designated hair area. This is where the hair follicles are most thick. They then remove A small section of tissue is removed from the donor area and is then dissected under magnification into individual follicular units and micro-grafts.Once the detailed preparation of the grafts is complete, artistic strategy is used to place them into the thinning or balding areas. Single-hair follicular units are placed at precise but varied angles in the frontal hair zone to create a soft, natural looking hairline

    Hair loss from weight loss surgery, any shampoos that can help?

Any shampoos out there anywhere that can help??Hair loss from weight loss surgery, any shampoos that can help?
    No. Hair products will not cause hair to either stop falling out or to start growing. These products address the already grown hair, not where it grows from. However you may try minoxidil (branded as Rogaine). It typically takes months to show growth improvement, but in your case it may stop the hair loss nearly immediately. Then, when you are able to intake the protein you need, you can stop using it.Hair loss from weight loss surgery, any shampoos that can help?
    No, shampoos are a cosmetic, and by law, cosmetics cannot do anything along the medical line.





    There is nothing you can put on your hair or scalp that will make your hair stop falling. You need to correct the cause. Because it is an internal medical condition, you need to correct it internally and medically. Do not be mis-led by ';miracle cures'; for hair loss. There is nothing that has been shown to actually work. No matter what they may claim, they cannot legally actually say it will make your hair grow back, or that it will stop hair loss, because they cannot prove it. Look closely, and you will see they skirt the issue.





    If it is lack of protein, that is severe starvation, and should never have happened. There is a hint of malpractice here. You can increase your intake of protein in many ways... you need to find a reputable doctor to help you with this. It is beyond the likes of us.
    I'd think that you would want to avoid using shampoos or any hair care products at the moment because your hair is so sensitive. If your really worried about it though I would try anything thats packed with protien like Pantene Pro-V and thats not breaking your bank. If you want something more on the salan side look for shampoos thats have Karitin and Protein extracts. The other road to go would be investing in a full lace wig. They look like real hair and if applied right no one can tell the difference.

    How long till hair loss from surgery stress reverses?

    I had rhinoplasty about four months ago, and after two months, my hair started shedding. Naturally I freaked out, but my dermatoligist said it was due to the stress from my surgery. While it's not like huge clumps are falling out, I still want to cry when I find strand after strand after combing or washing my hair. How long till this stops? And would it be unwise to color my hair?How long till hair loss from surgery stress reverses?
    Yes the stress of the surgery and/or anesthesia can disrupt the hair growth cycle causing hair loss. Usually it is temporary and reversible as long as the body adjusts to the disturbance fairly quickly. How soon the hair growth cycle repairs depends on other factors such as how well the healing/recovery process is going, the overall physical and emotional health of the individual, adequate nutrition to support recovery etc. Extra nutritional support could be helpful. Normally the shedding begins to taper off and normal growth resumes within 6-9 months after surgery. Essential oil scalp massage is an excellent hair growth stimulator that may help repair the growth cycle sooner.

    I would not use dyes or other harsh chemicals while your hair is in this weakened fragile stage.How long till hair loss from surgery stress reverses?
    Hi mallie, I understand your concern, but please do not colour your hair as you will only weaken the roots even further. As the dermatologist has said, it is normal to lose some hair. i have a friend who went through the same procedure last month of september and also had the same effects than you (I must say he did not lose huge amounts of hair and It wasn't very obvious) and now he's back to normal :)



    Unless you have any other problems with your hair like genetic alopecia, I would leave it alone and just have a bit of patience as it would get back to normal. Don't worry.

    Hope it helps! :-)
    yes it is common that hair falls due to any stress not just following surgery,first u need to calm down and know that u hair is like any tissue on u body that needs to breathe and a proper nourishment and i advice u not to color u hair any soon coz it will cause more damage to the already weakened hair follicles read more here about general rules to prevent hair loss http://teensandhealth.blogspot.com/2009/
    The anesthesia can cause a shock to your system which causes the hair to go into the rest phase and some of it falls out about 3 months later.

    It can take a few more months (4-5) to grow back and I would suggest you don't color your hair right now.

    Hi Mallie,



    Hair Loss Solution



    If you are losing your hair, you know that the process doesn't simply affect the way you look; it can also affect the way you feel about yourself. If you are interested in slowing down the results of male pattern baldness and stimulating new hair growth, then you're ready for the amazing results of Provillus.



    The majority of products on the market make use of a variety of chemicals that can have harmful side effects and actually cause damage to your hair and scalp. Moreover, most of these chemicals are inconsistent at best when it comes to stopping hair loss. Provillus, a safe and all-natural hair loss solution, blocks the hormone DHT, which has been linked to 95 percent of hair loss. It also provides your scalp with nutrients that are essential to stimulating hair growth.



    Saw palmetto, an essential active ingredient in Provillus, is one of the few natural substances that have been approved by the FDA for use in hair loss programs. When you use our hair loss supplements, the saw palmetto will lower DHT levels by blocking receptor sites on cell membranes. As DHT levels subside, hair loss will subside as well.



    Along with saw palmetto, Provillus utilizes vitamins such as B6 and natural extracts that provide your scalp and hair follicles with vital nutrients. This means that you will not only keep the hair you have, you can actually gain back some of the hair you have lost! The process is easy and effective. We have had so much success with our product that we are willing to give you a money back guarantee when you order. Why wait another day when you can have healthy hair with Provillus?
